This '59 Limited Edition Falcon has an eye-catching Lake Placid Blue finish, a fantastic set of pickups, and an intruiging in-hand feel that exudes the unmistakable quality of a made-in-Japan Gretsch. This “Blue Falcon” of sorts boasts a pair of TV Jones Ray Butts Ful-Fidelity pickups that give a focused bass response, sparkling highs, and put picking dynamics front and center. This guitar’s Falcon-shape body features 1959-style trestle bracing, a pinned rocking bar bridge, and a string-through B6CP Bigsby, all of wich contribute to a resonant and responsive in-hand feel. Plus, its remarkable Lake Placid Blue finish, Falcon logo pickguard, and Neo-Classic thumbnail inlays give it a fresh aesthetic that is unmistakably Gretsch. If you’re looking for classic tone and feel with a look that stands out from the crowd, then Gretsch’s G6136T-59 Limited Edition Falcon is the guitar for you.
